Map of the Mental Health Ecosystem

Over 2021-22, we built a map to help us see where the different parts of mental health, mental wellness, and mental illness are represented in our current ecosystem.

 

Designed to become the foundation for a public art project, it is meant to be updated as we learn more and better understand the communities we celebrate. Over the years it will evolve to be more artistic in execution, however we begin with data/text. It also makes it easier for feedback from the ecosystem. If the name of an organization is in black text, we have been able to connect at an event, and have learned more about what these organizations do. If they are in grey text, we are still in the discovery phase. If an organization is not on the map, please forgive our mistake, it was not intentional! Reach out and let us know, via email to stacey@perlinfoundation.com.

Collaboration among mental health, addiction and primary care providers can benefit individual’s seeking help by ensuring that no matter which service they access they will be connected to all the services they need in a coordinated and seamless way. Coordination among services will add clinical value by allowing for multiple health concerns to be addressed at once and ensuring that care will continue throughout transitions between services and through to recovery.
